Reciprocity loses 3-0 to GMS in the LB. A certain member of the first team mentioned still feels he only needs to get on and play scrims/online tournaments and playing MM with his team as a TO4 would not be worth it - also after commenting earlier that gametypes such as Amp TS play differently now from the old Halo 3 VODs he had been watching.

I'll admit - my post was troll-ish, but the point I brought up previously regarding Pistola's attitude still stands.

He made the point yesterday that he will be playing more Fortnite (and brought this up to Snipedown when the team was first forming) because he has the opportunity to make more money with the online cups, tournaments, etc - no one, myself included, will argue with him on that. Halo right now is his second priority, as it should be in regards to prize money. If no one on REC was grinding, it would be much more understandable. But when Halo is the top priority of the rest of your team, you make yourself look bad with that approach. Snipedown, Roy and Lunch have been grinding recently and Pistola only gets on for the online tournaments or scrims, and has attempted to make a case for not needing to play until those online tournaments or scrims - that rubs me the wrong way (as a fan) - and it would especially if I were Snipedown, Roy or Lunch.

In the world of competition, there isn't much that is worse than wasted talent. Right now, with his approach, he is wasting his talent - a top talent. One of the best to ever play the franchise. When you are the first to try and rationalize your lack of practice or raise points after a match of what could have been done better, when you have played the least compared to everyone else on your team, again - that rubs me the wrong way.

"it rubs me the wrong way" how old are you? the guys played halo at the top for years, what more do you want? you sound like a very immature fanboi venting online.
